Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery management system (BMS) testing, and in particular, to an off-the-production-line test method, apparatus, and system for a wireless communication BMS.

BACKGROUND

With vigorous development of electric vehicles in the new energy field, harnesses used for communication in new energy vehicles are becoming increasingly numerous and complex. Consequently, issues stemming from harness connections are also on the rise. A solution in which a plurality of electronic control units are connected through wireless communication is gaining growing favor among new energy vehicle manufacturers. There is also increasing advocacy among vehicle manufacturers for using a wireless communication solution in a BMS of a new energy vehicle. If the BMS uses wireless communication, it no longer relies on a fixed physical address of each electronic control unit inherent in wired communication, where each electronic control unit can be distinguished through a harness. During an off-the-production-line test, if a plurality of electronic control units are simultaneously measured and monitored, a wireless communication test bench cannot identify a currently tested wireless communication electronic control unit and thus cannot accurately establish a unique connection to the currently tested wireless communication electronic control unit. Consequently, there are various connections between a plurality of wireless communication test benches and a plurality of wireless communication electronic control units, making it impossible to identify a position of the currently tested wireless communication electronic control unit and distinguish the specific wireless communication electronic control unit. This results in a high wireless communication test failure rate or bit error rate, which directly reduces an off-the-production-line test passing rate and production efficiency of wireless communication electronic control units.

Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts should fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of an off-the-production-line test method for a wireless communication BMS according to the present disclosure, which mainly includes steps 101 to 103 and is specifically as follows:
Step 101: Respectively send first analog signals in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of electronic information acquisition units to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units such that the plurality of electronic information acquisition units generate respective first address information based on the respectively received first analog signals.
In this embodiment, the plurality of first analog signals are a plurality of analog signals with different voltages. After respectively receiving the first analog signals with different voltages, the plurality of electronic information acquisition units generate the respective first address information based on the respectively received first analog signals, such that different electronic information acquisition units have different first address information and are distinguished from each other.
In this embodiment, the electronic information acquisition unit may be an acquisition module configured to acquire battery information. The acquisition module is connected to a BMS through wireless communication, and acquires a voltage and temperature of a battery cell.
In this embodiment, the wireless communication may use a wireless communication protocol for CC2662R-Ql of Texas Instruments (TI).
In this embodiment, the plurality of electronic information acquisition units may be connected to each other through wireless communication.
Step 102: Send addressing information to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units, and establish wireless communication with the plurality of electronic information acquisition units that respond to the addressing information such that the plurality of electronic information acquisition units upload to-be-tested battery information that carries the respective first address information.
In this embodiment, after an off-the-production-line test apparatus for a wireless communication BMS establishes connections to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units through respective wireless communication modules, information is exchanged between them through addressing. The off-the-production-line test apparatus sends signals to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units. Only electronic information acquisition units with corresponding first address information respond. The responding electronic information acquisition units perform corresponding operations based on the signals sent by the off-the-production-line test apparatus.
Step 103: Receive, through wireless communication, the to-be-tested battery information uploaded by the plurality of electronic information acquisition units, and determine the electronic information acquisition unit corresponding to each piece of to-be-tested battery information based on the respective first address information of the plurality of electronic information acquisition units.
In this embodiment, the electronic information acquisition units acquire information related to a plurality of cells in a battery to be tested, such as voltages, temperatures, and the like of the battery cells. After acquiring the to-be-tested battery information, the electronic information acquisition units upload the to-be-tested battery information in response to instructions from the off-the-production-line test apparatus. The off-the-production-line test apparatus may display the to-be-tested battery information on a touchscreen interaction module.
In this embodiment, each piece of to-be-tested battery information includes specific first address information. The off-the-production-line test apparatus may identify the electronic information acquisition unit corresponding to each piece of to-be-tested battery information based on different first address information.
FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of an off-the-production-line test method for a wireless communication BMS according to the present disclosure, which mainly includes steps 201 to 203 and is specifically as follows:
In this embodiment, step 101 specifically includes steps 201 to 203.
Step 201: Fixedly connect a test fixture to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units.
In this embodiment, the test fixture is an electronic test fixture, for example, a ZF (ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN) electric vehicle test system or an in-circuit test (ICT) fixture, and is configured to test electronic devices such as electronic information acquisition units in a vehicle in terms of functions, service lives, performance, and the like.
In this embodiment, the fixed connection may be implemented through physical hardwiring. A communication enabling module of the off-the-production-line test apparatus is connected to address detection modules of the plurality of electronic information acquisition units such that the off-the-production-line test apparatus sends the first analog signals to the electronic information acquisition units.
Step 202: Correspondingly set different levels for different electronic information acquisition units, and send the corresponding first analog signal to each electronic information acquisition unit based on the level corresponding to each electronic information acquisition unit.
In this embodiment, correspondingly setting different levels for different electronic information acquisition units is specifically as follows: Adjust a resistance of an output pull-up resistor such that the output pull-up resistor and an input pull-down resistor of each electronic information acquisition unit connected to the output pull-up resistor are combined to obtain a corresponding level.
In this embodiment, the output pull-up resistor is disposed in the communication enabling module of the off-the-production-line test apparatus, and an interval between levels of the output pull-up resistor is a first preset resistance.
In the present disclosure, the first analog signal input to the electronic information acquisition unit is changed through the combination of the output pull-up resistor and the input pull-down resistor such that different first analog signals are input to different electronic information acquisition units, to establish mutually distinguishable first address information.
In this embodiment, sending the corresponding first analog signal to each electronic information acquisition unit based on the level corresponding to each electronic information acquisition unit is specifically as follows: Convert a rated working voltage into the plurality of first analog signals with different voltages based on the level corresponding to each electronic information acquisition unit; and respectively send the corresponding first analog signals for the corresponding levels to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units based on a preset sending sequence.
In the present disclosure, different levels are set to convert the working voltage into the first analog signals with different voltages.
In this embodiment, the pull-up resistor and the pull-down resistor convert the working voltage through voltage division. In this way, different electronic information acquisition units receive the first analog signals with different voltages at different levels, such that different electronic information acquisition units establish different first address information based on different first analog signals. For example, by default, the address detection module of the electronic information acquisition unit under test is configured to detect the input analog signal with the pull-down resistor to ground. The communication enabling module of the off-the-production-line test apparatus for a wireless communication BMS configures the pull-up resistor to pull up a level to a power supply voltage. The working voltage and resistance may be adjusted based on an actual test requirement. For example, it is assumed that the working voltage is 5.0 V, and a resistance of the input pull-down resistor in the address detection module of the wireless communication electronic information acquisition unit under test is 10K. By default, there are 10 levels. Levels of the output pull-up resistor in the communication enabling module of the off-the-production-line test apparatus may be set to 1K to 10K at an interval of 1K. Simultaneous use of 10 off-the-production-line test apparatuses for a wireless communication BMS can be ensured. Each off-the-production-line test apparatus for a wireless communication BMS can simultaneously monitor and measure 10 electronic information acquisition units connected thereto.
In the present disclosure, fixed physical connections to different electronic information acquisition units are implemented through the test fixture, and different first analog signals are sent to different electronic information acquisition units through level setting such that the electronic information acquisition units establish the respective first address information based on the first analog signals, to identify data sources and determine positions of the electronic information acquisition units during test data transmission.
In this embodiment, the plurality of electronic information acquisition units generate the respective first address information specifically includes step 203.
Step 203: Enable the plurality of electronic information acquisition units to identify voltages of the respectively received first analog signals, and establish the first address information corresponding to the respectively received first analog signals based on the identified voltages.
In this embodiment, after establishing the first address information corresponding to the respectively received first analog signals, the method includes: Store the first address information of the electronic information acquisition unit by the electronic information acquisition unit; and when the voltage of the first analog signal received by an electronic information acquisition unit is 0 V, clear the first address information stored by the electronic information acquisition unit. To facilitate re-pairing of each electronic information acquisition unit with the off-the-production-line test apparatus during a next test, the electronic information acquisition unit deletes the stored first address information after receiving the first analog signal with a voltage of 0 V.
In this embodiment, the first address information is two-bit address information.
In the present disclosure, the electronic information acquisition units establish mutually different first address information based on the received first analog signals, to prevent crosstalk during wireless communication connections to a test device or the test apparatus.
FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of an off-the-production-line test method for a wireless communication BMS according to the present disclosure, which mainly includes steps 301 and 302 and is specifically as follows:
Step 301: Receive a second analog signal from a test fixture or a computer terminal, and identify a voltage of the second analog signal.
In this embodiment, the second analog signal is set by a tester as needed.
In this embodiment, the tester may send second analog signals with different voltages to different off-the-production-line test apparatuses through test fixtures, such that different test fixtures establish different second address information based on different second analog signals.
Step 302: Establish unique second address information based on the voltage of the second analog signal, and send wireless operation instructions that contain the second address information to the plurality of electronic information acquisition units.
In this embodiment, different off-the-production-line test apparatuses have different second address information, to establish wireless communication connections between a plurality of off-the-production-line test apparatuses and different electronic information acquisition modules, and prevent crosstalk between different off-the-production-line test apparatuses.
In the present disclosure, when electronic information acquisition modules perform addressing, the test apparatus or the test device also performs addressing based on the second analog signal such that its second address information is distinguished from address information of another test apparatus, to prevent crosstalk when a plurality of test apparatuses are simultaneously used.
Further, after receiving, through wireless communication, the to-be-tested battery information uploaded by the plurality of electronic information acquisition units, and determining the electronic information acquisition unit corresponding to each piece of to-be-tested battery information based on the respective first address information of the plurality of electronic information acquisition units, the method includes:
The to-be-tested battery information includes battery cell voltage information and battery cell temperature information.
Perform data comparison on the battery cell voltage information and the battery cell temperature information based on actual operating parameters of a battery cell, determine whether the electronic information acquisition unit corresponding to the to-be-tested battery information is abnormal, and upload a determining result obtained through the data comparison to a cloud MES of a production department.
In this embodiment, the off-the-production-line test apparatus not only acquires the to-be-tested battery information uploaded by the electronic information acquisition units, but also compares acquired battery cell information with current battery cell voltage information and current battery cell temperature information in each piece of to-be-tested battery information. The current battery cell voltage information and the current battery cell temperature information come from a wireless communication BMS. When an error result of data comparison on the battery cell voltage information and/or the battery cell temperature information in any piece of to-be-tested battery information is greater than a first preset value, the electronic information acquisition unit corresponding to the to-be-tested battery information is abnormal. The determining result is transmitted to the cloud MES through a general packet radio service (GPRS) module of the off-the-production-line test apparatus for management.
